I don't have any particular interest in fancy dyed props, but in the world of full sized prop driven aircraft the prop tips are painted for a very good reason, so that you can see the running prop tips and avoid redecorating the aircrafts paint job...

Given that, whats the consensus for the best dye to use to give me a nice bright orange prop tip???

Wasn't no problem. If you have any old props mess with it.

I do this too, but on the underside of the two front props. Makes it easier for me to tell front from back. DJI props, and doesn't upset balance [emoji4]
